Danielle really does seem kind of like another Zakiyah (with Shane). Although the relationship is completely different.

And unlike Zakiyah I kinda still like her personality, although she's not as good as I was expecting.

What the hell is this? :joker:

So people are counting things around the house (?) and then entering numbers in the backyard?

Did they explain the comp when it started?

Edit: Well yeah it's basically that, they need a code... 4 digits I think... and they have to figure out what it is based on things around the house.

Wtfffff @ Jason winning. Of course.

Cornbread is toast. Then Jason's gonna have the majority on his side so that he'll be there a while.

A Kryssie backdoor would be ideal. Justin or Shelby being put up as the replacement target would make me flip to wanting Cornbread or Danielle out.

JerseyWins
05-10-2016, 03:50 AM
Eh I guess I like Monte from what I've seen. I feel like I might actually prefer him over Shane and Shane is actually the more bland one. Monte is pretty bland but super involved in the game at least. And he's a good/loyal guy which I like to see. Kinda messy with his gameplay too. :joker:

WTF @ Cornbread going. Oh wait, this was obviously going to happen lol.

I'm soooo unsure about who I like/dislike so far. I feel like I might like Jason more this time around too. :conf:

05-10-2016, 03:51 AM
WHYYYYYYYYY is Justin a target for basically everyone?!???

JerseyWins
05-10-2016, 03:58 AM
So what I got from that DR from Scott is that he's literally aligned with everyone.

America needs to vote him on the block next week.

Yes, Shelby is next. :joker:

05-10-2016, 04:33 AM
After watching Monte & the girls talk in the hot tub, this vote still doesn't even make sense to me... Alex/Morgan/Whitney/Shelby are a block of 4 and they don't have 1 more vote to take Kryssie out? :joker: Like both Scott & Shane are against Cornbread now?

They're gonna keep Kryssie & Danielle but then target Danielle & Justin next week... with one less vote (Cornbread) on their side. Then America's nominee will probably get evicted next week too...

JerseyWins
05-10-2016, 04:38 AM
Also this is the second time I've heard Alex say she's gonna be the target next week.

Is she actually a target? Because that's not the impression I'm getting from others. :shrug:

JerseyWins
05-10-2016, 05:35 AM
Lol these feeds are chaotic (as in everyone's all over the place and so much talk about the vote.. everyone has their own agenda and I have no clue what is actually what). :joker: I gotta try to follow this season more.

JerseyWins
05-10-2016, 05:45 AM
Well Justin/Shane/Jason had a bit of a bonding moment just now over Jason staying. I reeeally like Justin & Shane as a duo. I could really get behind that. Even a trio with Jason. And even with people like Kryssie/Neeley on their side (who I definitely don't care for yet).

Wow so Alex won HOH. It sucks that no matter what they decide to do, Monte (or America's nominee but I'm assuming him) is a goner this week.

But then again, I think their target is either Justin or Danielle, so I guess this works out ok.

BBfanUSA
06-10-2016, 02:33 PM

America's Care Packages have been revealed

Week 2: Save a Friend- Whoever wins this can choose a friend to have immunity for the week
Week 3: Pick a Veto- Whoever wins this can choose the type of Veto for the week, which can include A Diamond Veto, Two Vetoes, or a Boomerang Veto which allows both hgs to be taken off the block
Week 4: Safety Servant- Whoever wins this is safe for the week but must serve the HoH at all times to ensure safety
Week 5: Eliminate 3 eviction votes
Week 6: Co-HoH, this Hg gets all of the HoH's privileges and chooses 1 nom
Week 7: Double Eviction Veto, Whoever wins this gets the double eviction Veto
Week 8: The Final Four Challenge, Whoever wins this receives a challenge from BB, if they're successful, they'll automatically lock a spot into the final 4

wtf why would they vote Cornbread out, he had no chance of winning if the audience didn't like him? How stupid. And nearly unanimous so I guess all but Cornbread knew, which is kind of boring, the way it was announced at least had tension.

Wish Danielle had gone, a live update showed her helping Jason idiotically at the veto, and it would have killed a showmance.

The first ep was ok, good to see them all enter singly (how it should be done), and I liked the announcement for eviction rather than seeing the votes (we find out with them). Maybe it's more dramatic having the presenter do it, but still it's again an improvement on what is normally done.

The only thing I didn't like was there was nothing of the strategy talk before the vote. I didn't want it giving away what the result was in advance but as least some talk should be done. Should have put something in to replace the unfortunately kept pleas, which I skipped in case it gave it away.

Idiots keeping the showmance though.

07-10-2016, 07:55 PM
I just watched the episode, it was surprisingly good given how much they had to cover. The full hour helped a lot, though I did notice they still had what would be the commercial outros if it were on TV so can anyone who was watching live tell me what happened...did they have a few ads or did it just come back on? :laugh:

The eviction was a bit of a mess though, I mean I liked seeing each HG being called to the DR individually but it lacked a lot of atmosphere without Julie and tbh if she didn't want to work Wednesday night's I think they'd have been better doing a typical live show on Thursday afternoon (with highlight segments as per) and then have her conduct the vote and eviction interview as normal :think: you could also invite an audience down that way, might give it some more gravitas

And yeah the comps really are so budget, which is a shame cause I kinda wanted to see how the big builds played out in real time? This isn't really what I was looking for in this season, same with them changing the noms ceremony

zakman440
07-10-2016, 09:04 PM
There weren't any ads when it played out live, so I assume the ad placers were there for those who want to watch the episode on demand and don't have an ad-free All Access account.

In other news, Kryssie's been given the first care package!

Actually didn't expect Kryssie to get it.

This actually puts a bigger target on her back however.

starry
08-10-2016, 09:55 AM
The public seem to love Jason, she is near to him apparently. Cornbread made a move against Jason and went up.

I think the challenges have been ok so far, it's not like on the normal seasons they are that different. They could decorate them a bit more but that's it. We've had an endurance (apparently over 2 hours) and a variation on where people decide one by one who wins the competition.

Looked at some live stream and it was all Kryssie talking strategy, I got tired after 20 minutes. I think strategy is better suited to a storyline as told through episodes, otherwise you have to listen to a load of hot air signifying very little as people waffle on to confuse people or feed the paranoia.

Headie
08-10-2016, 10:22 AM
Ugh I wanted Shane to win it and save Danielle. Now Kryssie will save Jason when he wasn't even being targeted.

lmao apparently there was a big convo today where Neeley was just like "hey Monte are you racist? Just wanted to clear the air lol :)" and it was this big house meeting thing that went on for hours, with Monte talking about how hard it is to be white and how he's in trouble if a bunch of liberals watch this show.

Goodie! get rid of the showmance. There's also a campaign for Kryssie to be up because her getting the care package has got to her head.

Talking of care packages they need to be axed, there's far too many and each one is a game helper. America has way too much power and it sucks.

I really need to find a way to catch up on this. I hope there's more lengthy recap episodes this week. Apparently A LOT of **** has gone down lately? And just now almost immediately after I put the feeds on, Danielle just went off on Monte. :laugh2:

Idk details of what he's said at all and I don't see any details in this thread but Danielle came across pretty bad just now IMO. She says his comments is why America made him a have-not & nominated him and Monte is just like "you might be right it could be" and then finally walks off all sad when Danielle tells him to leave the room. :joker:

Headie
10-10-2016, 09:43 PM
^Danielle came off fine and justified, Monte has shown racist behaviour and been pretty crappy to Justin for no reason and said some nasty stuff about him and Danielle too. I'm glad America sees him for the scum he is :clap1:

JerseyWins
10-10-2016, 09:48 PM
Scott strategizing with the Mean Girls on potential votes. Scott just suggested putting up Kryssie and trying to convince someone like Shane/Justin to vote out Kryssie and then they all actually vote out Danielle. So it's a 4-4-1 vote and Alex breaks the tie.

It's a decent plan... in theory. However, idk how likely Shane or Justin or whoever is to do that but I would think Shane might want to do it just to not risk Danielle going on America's vote. (I know Shane originally didn't like Kryssie but I think he likes her now / I know he's in an alliance with her based on the last recap I saw).

However, Shane just recently was telling Justin & Danielle that they need to get out Monte now so very unlikely I guess. Monte's a goner.

^Danielle came off fine and justified, Monte has shown racist behaviour and been pretty crappy to Justin for no reason and said some nasty stuff about him and Danielle too. I'm glad America sees him for the scum he is :clap1:
She seemed to just be yelling down at him and attacking him although it's justified I guess if he attacked her before especially racially.

I have no clue what the comments are though... What has Monte said?

JerseyWins

Although in fairness they're fighting a winless battle with the America votes for everything twists.

JerseyWins

Lol this plan to keep Monte is actually really interesting. Never seen anything like it before because of the whole America's vote aspect to it. He seems 100% out but Scott is coming up with a damn good argument for Shane to keep him for multiple reasons.

This group is seriously working hard right now with their strategizing and I love it. :clap1: They have two separate plans going to try to get Shane's vote and to get Justin's vote.

Jason lashing at someone else for being negative and passive-aggressive is rich. Not to mention that he's only speaking up because he thinks the house hates Shelby. It's like how he didn't say **** to Audrey until Da'Vonne started going at her, and even then he didn't have **** to say.

This plan to get Justin's vote is actually pretty solid (better than the Shane one since Shane seems completely anti-Monte at this point). However, from what I'm aware of I highly doubt Justin would keep Monte and take out Danielle... But according to Alex, Justin has already came up to her before to say they need to take out Danielle, which is confusing considering he seems close with them two.

This season's cast is so LIT

I absolutely adore that so many of them are playing the game, and playing the game hard, it's so refreshing to see. Also the dynamics of the divide are really psychologically fascinating and it's really a good mix of people.

Unlike most though, I lowkey prefer the plastics side as I absolutely adore Alex and Whitney and Monte are close up there for me.

Danielle just keeps getting more annoying lately. She's whining so much about Alex putting up Kryssie instead of her own ally. She gives off such an entitled bratty vibe from what I've seen in the past 24 hours in general.

Neely on the other hand is hilarious right now because she's HEATED.. :joker: although she's doing similar whining over Alex not putting up an ally...

Yeah, that did cross my mind but then i thought that was giving twitter voters too much credit, especially considering some of the odd people who they voted to get care packages on BB 18 (bloody SnakeHole and Borey for two!).

To be completely honest i feel like i'm having to try and enjoy this Season far more than i should need to if i was really enjoying it. I guess i really wanted it to be great and end up being the BB that the regular show should be but the longer it's on the more jaded i'm feeling about the whole thing. :shrug:

I'm not really feeling that many of the houseguests which doesn't help i guess. A few of the ones i liked initially just don't seem to be delivering. It just seems like they're all bored ****less and the majority seem like they'd rather be somewhere else most of the time.

I'm liking Neeley and i like Jason much more now he's not Da'Vonne's little lapdog. I like that he knows the game too. How can they expect to have interesting strategic gameplay going on in there when you've got people like ****ing Shellby in there who appears to know absolutely nothing about the show and doesn't even have?:bored:

It really wouldn't surprise me to discover that Shelby has never seen a single Big Brother episode in her life! That ''oh, i didn't see your season (hence i have absolutely zero ideas who you even are)'' comment when Jeff came through the front door was cringeworthy. I can't stand Jeff but really.............if she'd have seen pretty much any season in recent BB US history she'd have known who he was in relation to the show!:facepalm:

Jason knows the game but he will flop on the main show because he doesn't do anything at all, he smokes and continues to be a bitch so it;s a same old Jason from BB17. he's lucky america has some power on this show because they seem to be helping him and his side (but i've just seen Jason is going down on polls and america's nominee might be Danielle) He's wasting his second chance.

Danielle seems to be her own worst enemy. She's another one of these people who go in there saying that they're doing it for their child and that's all that matters but then gets completely enveloped in her own selfish BS (Shane/Showmance/Constant Complaining) which will inevitably take her out of the game.
I agree about Jason needing to do more too. It seems like he's becoming too comfortable with America propping his game up. When the country puts you in there to start with and then the producers give that same country so much say in what happens i guess it's only natural for that person to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I just don't get how the people in charge of choosing the houseguests ever saw anything interesting or entertaining about most of these dummies!!? They need to be done with this ****ing secret sisters thing already, especially when the sisters are as dull as this pair!

Backyard – Neeley, Jason and Kryssie are talking. Neeley – we just have to win HOH. Thin that number down so they have to start working with us. It’s Alex, then Scott, then Whitney. That’s the order they have to go out. Kryssie – do we backdoor Alex. We can’t let her fight for the veto. She’s a good competitor. She has to be backdoored. Neeley – I’m not scared of her. If I win HOH, she is going up automatically. Jason – I would put one of them up with Shelby and backdoor the other one. Neeley – Alex is going up. No backdoor style. That’s how I’m doing it. You do it how you want. I’m doing it Neeley style. I want to scare the ****** out of Shelby and Alex is going to know I’m coming for her. And if she takes herself off, then she earned it. I can’t be mad at her. And then Scott is going home. But that’s just me. Kryssie – that’s not a bad strategy. Neeley – the thing with backdoor strategy is sometimes it doesn’t work. I want to look her in the eye and says I know you orchestrated this. You (Alex) need to see what it feels like to have to fight for your life in this house. You played a sh*tty a$$ social game. You put all your pawns in front of you to play your social game for you. She has Morgan and Whitney playing her social game for her. Jason – she is using them as her social game. Neeley – I feel like we can use Morgan but then she has to go too. Shane joins them and talks about how he knows he’s being backdoored. I’m not going to be crazy, I’m just going to call him out. Kryssie – if this little sh*t (Scott) is doing this for TV time then you might as well take the wind out of his sails.

Legend Neeley :clap1:

Honestly, there’s no point in watching this season anymore. The racist freaks on twitter/reddit/jokers love the plastics and can’t stand the LNJ. Neeley is going to be the 3rd nom and America’s vote is going to evict her. If someone from LNJ wins HOH again next week, Danielle is going to be the 3rd nom and the plastics will have the numbers with America’s vote. At this point, there’s nothing more we can do.

Even if someone like Danielle makes it to the finals, the racist majority are never going to give her the win because they simply don’t like her, regardless of her gameplay. This season is just one big popularity contest so might as well give Alex the money now.

Honestly this is so true, I'm really over this season already, BBCAN needs to hurry up

Just wanted to jump in and say that while I am not actively following this season to the lengths that I normally follow a BB season (lol nobody is though), from what I've seen Alex ****ing sucks? I know people thought she was great in the first week bc of the hinky vote, but casting a hinky vote in Week 1 really just screams desperation to be seen as a strategist. IDK, faux-masterminds are annoying enough on this show but in the first week? All you're supposed to do for the first two weeks is be social, not say or do anything stupid, and let the models and surfers self-evict.

And aside from her transparent, desperate desire to be a BB legend (on this show, mind you), her voice is annoying, her fake screaming DR persona sticks out even more than usual because this cast is fairly laid back, and she pretends that Big Brother is some legendary game that warrants respect when it's really just a random **** show of production manipulation and power shifts that depend on carnival games like rolling your ball into the correct slot. She's everything wrong with the Grodner era personified :3

Just wanted to jump in and say that while I am not actively following this season to the lengths that I normally follow a BB season (lol nobody is though), from what I've seen Alex ****ing sucks? I know people thought she was great in the first week bc of the hinky vote, but casting a hinky vote in Week 1 really just screams desperation to be seen as a strategist. IDK, faux-masterminds are annoying enough on this show but in the first week?

"Irregardless"

Raph
24-10-2016, 12:55 PM
My last post, “12 Mistakes Nearly Everyone Who Writes about Grammar Mistakes Makes,” drew a lot of comments, some supportive and some critical. But no point drew as much ire as my claim that irregardless is a word. Some stated flatly, “Irregardless is not a word.” One ignorantly demanded, “Show me a dictionary that actually contains that word.” (I could show him several.) Still others argued that it was a double negative, that it was logically and morphologically ill-formed and thus had no meaning. One commenter said that “with the negating preface [prefix] ‘ir-‘ and the negating suffix ‘-less’, it is a double negative” and that “it is not a synonym with ‘regardless’.” Another was even cleverer, saying, “The prefix ir-, meaning not, changes the meaning of the word regardless, so not only is it not a standard word, but it’s also misused in nearly all cases.” But these arguments still miss the point: irregardless is indeed a word, and it means the same thing as regardless.

In my last post I argued that there’s a clear difference between a word like irregardless and a nonword like flirgle. By any objective criterion, irregardless is a word. It has an established form and meaning, it’s used in speech and occasionally in writing, and it’s even found in reputable dictionaries, including Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary and The Oxford English Dictionary (though it is, quite appropriately, labeled nonstandard). We can identify its part of speech (it’s an adverb) and describe how it’s used. By contrast, though, consider flirgle. You don’t know what its part of speech is or how to use it, and if I were to use it in a sentence, you wouldn’t know what it meant. This is because it’s just something I made up by stringing some sounds together. But when someone uses irregardless, you know exactly what it means, even if you want to pretend otherwise.

This is because words get their wordhood not from etymology or logic or some cultural institution granting them official status, but by convention. It doesn’t matter that nice originally meant “ignorant” or that contact was originally only a noun or that television is formed from a blend of Greek and Latin roots; what matters is how people use these words now. This makes some people uncomfortable because it sounds like anarchy, but it’s more like the ultimate democracy or free market. We all want to understand one another and be understood, so it’s in our mutual interest to communicate in ways that are understandable. Language is a self-regulating system guided by the invisible hand of its users’ desire to communicate—not that this stops people from feeling the need for overt regulation.

One commenter, the same who said, “Irregardless is not a word,” noted rather aptly, “There is absolutely no value to ‘irregardless’ except to recognize people who didn’t study.” Exactly. There is nothing wrong with its ability to communicate; it’s only the word’s metacommunication—that is, what it communicates about its user—that is problematic. To put it a different way, the problem with irregardless is entirely social: If you use it, you’ll be thought of as uneducated, even though everyone can understand you just fine.

One friend of mine said, “Accepting it as a word is the first part of the slippery slope.” This seems like a valid fear, but I believe it is misplaced. First of all, we need to be clear about what it means to accept irregardless as a word. I accept that it’s a word, but this does not mean that I find the word acceptable. I can accept that people do all kinds of things that I don’t like. But the real problem isn’t what we mean by accept; it’s what we mean by word. When people say that something isn’t a word, they aren’t really making a testable claim about the objective linguistic status of the word; they’re making a sociolinguistic evaluation of the word. They may say that it’s not a word, but they really mean that it’s a word that’s not allowed in Standard English. This is because we think of Standard English as the only legitimate form of English. We think that the standard has words and grammar, while nonstandard dialects have nonwords and broken grammar, or no grammar at all. Yes, it’s important to recognize and teach the difference between Standard English and nonstandard forms, but it’s also important to be clear about the difference between facts about the language and our feelings about the language.

But the irregardless-haters can also take heart: The word has been around for at least a century now, and although many other new words have been coined and become part of Standard English in that time, irregardless shows no signs of moving towards acceptability. Most people who write for publication are well aware of the stigma attached to it, and even if they aren’t, few copyeditors are willing to let it into print. It’s telling that of the Oxford English Dictionary‘s eight citations of the word, two merely cite the word in other dictionaries, three more are mentions or citations in linguistics or literary journals, and one more appears to be using the word ironically. We talk about the word irregardless—mostly just to complain about it—far more than we actually use it.

So yes, irregardless is a word, even though it’s nonstandard. You don’t have to like it, and you certainly don’t have to use it, but you also don’t have to worry about it becoming acceptable anytime soon.

:) xoxo

It would be nice if Neeley somehow went instead of Scott but I don't see it unless Alex's fanbase is big enough? And also willing to spare Scott as a number on the plastics' side because aside from that reason... there's probably not many that like Scott. :joker: (which I think he's fine... I don't love him but he's better than I expected / saw at first)

Although I also have little to no clue what's going on at this point but the storyline seems to be pretty clear & self-explanatory. Just Team A vs. Team B still. Which can still be great (BB6) but I don't think there's been that much action, hostility, etc. between the sides lately? Aside from petty ranting... But I could be wrong. Whenever I do put on the feeds they don't seem as good as they were earlier in the season that's for sure.

That being said, for being such an esteemed Superfan (TM), he has a remarkably poor misunderstanding as to how public votes work. Throwing a fit and explicitly saying that the camera crew aren't doing their jobs if Shelby isn't America's nominee is really not a strategy to win the public over. You don't even need to have seen any BBUK to put that together.
